Principal's message

Dear Families,

As we continue preparing our students for the upcoming FAST State Assessments, we want to emphasize the importance of arriving at school on time each day.

Instruction begins promptly at 8:30 AM, and every minute of learning time is essential. When students arrive late, they miss critical instruction, including test preparation activities, foundational lessons, and opportunities to build confidence in key skills. Consistent, on-time attendance ensures that students receive the full instructional support they need to meet their learning goals and perform their best.

We kindly ask for your partnership in ensuring that your child arrives at school on time each day. Establishing a consistent morning routine can make a significant difference in your child’s academic success.

Save the Date:  FAST/STAR State Testing: 

  • May 5th:  FAST STAR ELA for all K-2 grade students 
  • May 6th: FAST STAR Math for all K-2nd grade students
  • May 13th: FAST ELA for all 3rd-5th grade students
  • May 14th: FAST Math 3rd-5th 
  • May 21st: FCAT Science (5th Grade Only) 

‍

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to your child’s education. If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

-Ms. Torres, Principal
